Using planetary cycles to determine stock market turn dates. Much of this work is based on Bradley Cowan's book, "Pentagonal Time Cycle Theory". Planetary charts are in heliocentric orientation unless otherwise noted.

“This means August 7th, 2013 we must be very careful about
next year. We will be looking at the global markets at the upcoming
conferences (San Diego-Bangkok-Berlin) around the world. So yes! This is
a very serious development. We may not last until 2015.75 and that
could be the complete economic meltdown.”

Let’s take a look at the charts. First let’s see the heliocentric chart:

8/17/2013: Heliocentric Jupiter-Mars Conjunction and Nasdaq Harmonics

Venus is near 72° (crossing the next day), and Saturn is very near
18°. This Jupiter-Mars conjunction will mark the completion of Mars’
travels through all 5 points of the pentagram (in 144° movements) that
began on 3/7/2009, a major bottom in the markets.

Now let’s see the geocentric chart:

7/22/2013: Geocentric Jupiter-Mars Conjunction and Nasdaq Harmonics

Not only do we have a 72° Jupiter-Mars conjunction but Ceres is near 36° squaring the Moon’s nodes.

There is no question but that this will be a very important time for the markets.

7/25/2013

But there is something else very important
about this time period I want to show you. Let’s forget about the stock
market for a moment and look at the July 25 geocentric chart:

There is a triangle formed by Neptune/Moon,
Jupiter/Mars and Saturn/North node, and another upside-down triangle
formed by the Galactic Center/Pluto, South node, and Venus. Susan
Seymour Hedke, on whose work this analysis is based, refers to this configuration as the Star of David
and it is exceptionally dangerous. The combination of the Moon and
Neptune in Pisces hints to a water disaster. Pluto in Capricorn hints to
an earthquake. But there are so many planets involved it is difficult
to pin down the type of disaster that could occur and even more
difficult to even guess at the location.

This configuration remains
active from late July through early September (with the Sun taking
Venus’ place in latter August) so there is likely to be a major disaster
during this time.

We saw in an earlier post,
that QE1 was announced when Uranus was at an exact 18° harmonic to the
Federal Reserve’s natal chart. QE2 was announced as Saturn, Mars, Venus
and Earth formed a 36° harmonic Golden Triangle. So what was the
astrological cause of QE3?

Let’s look back at what happened during Bernanke’s speech at Jackson Hole on August 31. While Bernanke did not announce QE3 at that time, the financial news interpreted the speech as a nod that it was coming and leaked the probability that it would be announced at the FOMC meeting and there were even rumors that QE3 had already begun.

Recall that August 31 was a very important planetary event, the conjunction of Ceres with Jupiter at the Nadaq’s 36° harmonic (this is near the FED’s 18° harmonic).

Furthermore, the September Moon’s Nodes square Neptune
gave energy to the markets to rise out of consolidation, and after all,
the astrological involvement of the nodes is sometimes associated with leaks!

9/6/2012: Moons’ Nodes Square Neptune and Nasdaq Harmonics

The impact of these events is shown below.

So although QE3 was not officially announced at Jackson Hole, the
psychological impact that Bernanke’s speech and the news following it
had on investors was as powerful as if it had been.

Anthony and ZigZag (http://zigzagcycle.blogspot.ca/) are extraordinary analysts who I have admired for some time. Anthony has many years experience in both traditional and non-traditional technical analysis and a focus more on shorter term expectations. ZigZag has an outstanding record of forecasting directional changes far in advance. These skills complement what I have been doing here at Planet Forecaster perfectly and solve the most frustrating problem with the type of analysis I do, since I cannot forecast direction or amounts, but only approximate trend change dates.

From this point forward I will be posting my stock market analysis at the Change-In-Trend site, but will continue to update this site with other topics I hope you find interesting.

I really appreciate your interest and hope you find this collaboration useful.

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was signed by President Woodrow Wilson at 6:02pm on December 23, 1913. (Source)

Here is the heliocentric natal chart, with Jupiter's position establishing the harmonics. Jupiter is at 27°Cap25'21", or 297.5° from 0° Aries. (This is only 1/2° clockwise from gold's natal chart.) Neptune is directly opposite Jupiter at 36°.

12/23/1913: Federal Reserve (Dollar) Natal Chart

On November 24, 2008, the Fed announced QE1, the quantitative easing program to buy $500 billion in mortgage bonds . Uranus on this date is at 21.5° Pisces, an exact 18° harmonic. Jupiter is near its natal return at 72°.

11/24/2008: QE1

On November 3, 2010, QE2 was announced, adding $600 billion into circulation. At this time, Saturn, Mars, Venus and Earth are in a 36° harmonic Golden Triangle configuration.

11/3/2010: QE2

July 23, 2012 was the Neptune-Venus conjunction discussed here, which occurred near the Fed's 36° and was responsible for the major top in the dollar the following day, and kicked off the bull run for gold and silver.

--------------

There will be a Uranus-Earth conjunction on September 29, 2012 near the Fed's 72° harmonic. This is near gold's 72° and silver's 36° so this event should be important to the dollar and to metals. Venus crosses the Fed's 72° the following day.

9/29/2012

Neptune will cross the Fed's 36° harmonic on May 20, 2013. This is 1 day before Cowan's Beast Cycle and Uranus' return to its position at the top of the 1929 stock market discussed here.

Thursday, September 6, 2012

Before we get to the next turn window let's first look back on the past few months of Nasdaq predictions.

The Nasdaq topped on April 3, 2 days before the geocentric Uranus 18° cycle discussed here.

It then made a bottom on May 21, just after the Earth 72° cycle and 36° solar eclipse, and 2 days before the heliocentric Uranus 18° cycle we told you about here.

It reversed on May 30, a heliocentric Mars 36° cycle, and then made another bottom on June 4, at the Lunar Eclipse in the confluence of geocentric cycles discussed here that included Mars 72°, Jupiter 36° and Saturn 36°. The Moon being closest to the Earth gave the perfect timing at the eclipse.

Another turn was made at the geocentric Ceres 36° Cycle on June 21, discussed here and here.

Then there were geocentric Saturn 36° and Juipter 36° cycles discussed here. Attempts to improve the timing window in this case were not successful.

We then had a very important turn date with the 36° Jupiter-72° Mars opposition square Neptune, discussed here and here. Attempts to improve the timing window again failed, and the market topped 2 trading days after the opposition, on August 21. I will probably give up on trying to improve timing for a while.

Next we discussed herethe 36° Jupiter-Ceres conjunction on August 31 which we said was even more important than the Jupiter-Mars opposition. This date gave a bottom to the markets, thus reversing the top made on the 21st.

Finally, we mentioned here the Moon's Nodes 72°/36° square Neptune on September 6 which gave energy to the markets to rise strongly out of consolidation.

Nasdaq Futures

Since the Moon's nodes seem to have a proven effect I will add here that they turn direct tomorrow (September 7) and then just after crossing the 72°/36° harmonics again on they 8th they turn back retrograde, so we may see some more volatility as a result.

The next timing window to watch for will be early October, with the following three important geocentric events:

Monday, September 3, 2012

Cowan's 13 year/666 week Beast Cycle is a heliocentric Golden Triangle configuration between Mars, Earth and Venus. A discussion of this cycle can be found here.

The next Beast Cycle is set to trigger on May 21, 2013. Venus being the closest planet to the Sun triggers the cycle.

5/21/2013: Mark of the Beast

There is something else very important about this date. Let's take a look back at the crash of 1929. The peak of the markets occurred on September 3, 1929.

Here is the heliocentric chart for that day.

9/3/1929: Stock Market Peak

Notice there is a Mars/Earth/Venus Golden Triangle at the 36° harmonics that had completed 5 days earlier as Venus passed by the lower triangle point. (Not a Mark of the Beast cycle because Mars is at the sharpest angle instead of the Earth.)

Here's the kicker. Uranus' position on the 9/3/1929 chart is 09Ari04'14". Now look again at the chart above for 5/21/2013. Exactly the same.

It is interesting that Pluto and Neptune are at nearly opposite points on the charts as well.

Saturday, September 1, 2012

On September 6 the North Node crosses the Nasdaq's 72°, and South Node 36°. The nodes are still square Neptune near 18°. We saw here that a similar configuration was important for silver, as it created the counter-trend peak between the summer double bottom.

9/6/2012: Moon's Nodes Square Neptune and Nasdaq Harmonics

On the 7th the Moon joins the South Node at 36°. The Sun reaches 72° on the 9th.
